Re: Assessing the outdatedness of our web site translations
Hi
I run a website for myself. There are some others who help me maintain it
and to keep them in order I have built a staff network module for php-nuke.
It can easily be customised for use on its own. Its wrote entirely in php
and is currently setup to use MySQL, but can be easily changed to use
postgreSQL.
At the moment it includes a task manager, in which someone lists a task/job
to be done, someone accepts it and then completes it once the job is
finished. The jobs once completed and selected by the admin are archived so
there is a log of everything that has been done on the site.
I have been using linux for years, and debian for the past year. I would
like to help out with the site in anyway possible as I feel I have something
to owe to the community.
Regards
Mike
